- Environmental precautions
- Not available.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Clean up spills using an absorbent, non-combustible material and gather up placing in a clean closed container for disposal. Do not wash away into sewers.
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Read the Suppliers' technical data Sheet carefully before commissioning or using the product.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Store unopened package at ambient temperature in a well ventilated place away from heat.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- No components above the 0.1% threshold have specific workplace control parameters assigned to our knowledge.
- Local mechanical ventilation not required as supplied, but this is also dependent on other mobile phases and analytes used. Always use a fume cupboard if handling as the dry power or where the liquid component may become airborne.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN 166.
- Skin protection
- Suitable impervious gloves e.g. Nitrile or Neoprene rubber. The selected protective gloves have to conform to EN 374.
- Body protection
- Avoid contact of contents with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash hand before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
- Respiratory protection
- If required to control exposure, use only suitable respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
